a/n I don't own Being Human (I only own De and her family and the good witches)
It had been about a week since I had gotten back to Boston and since I had seen Aidan. I hope he wasn't doing anything stupid to get safe blood. I had told him he needed to get his shit together and then we would figure out our shit since Sally had asked both of us a few while I had so much going on with the other supernatural groups in Boston that it seemed I never had a break. The vacuum that was left now that the vamps were on the down fall was becoming a witch problem and my problem. It was getting to the point that I was going to have to intervene in vampire and werewolf issues or there was going to be a war here in Boston. I needed to talk to someone from both sides someone with some clout. But the only vampire and werewolf I knew here really didn't have anything to do with their respective groups.I was brought out of my thoughts when I sensed a werewolf walk into the pub. I also felt blood magic. It could only be Sally. I walked out of my office to find Sally talking to a small blond woman. "Yay we found the right place!" Sally half shouted when she spotted me. "Aidan was right this place is cool. Oh this is Nora, Nora De." Sally introduced us. "You were looking for me?" "Yeah um well," "You're worried about Aidan?" They nodded. "Me too, do you know how he is getting safe blood? Because he hasn't come to see me since that first night I brought him back." "Maybe he hooked back up with his "son" Henry or something we aren't sure." Great, I thought. I had heard about him he's not really the best guy. "So will you talk to him? Please please?" Sally practically begged. "You know I will Sally." "Oh good now we can gossip, what can you tell us about Aidan?" "Sally I don't kiss and tell." I said. We did talk about Aidan but I wasn't going to give Sally the juicy details she they were getting ready to leave a large group of pure bread werewolves walked into the pub. Nora stepped up in front of me. It seemed that she knew the leader of this pack. "Liam what are you doing here? Are you following me?" "No I came here to see the high priestess." Oh goody gum drops. I thought to myself. Nora had told me about the pure bread pack leader that had paid her a visit the other day I knew a little about his agenda when he walked in. "And what exactly do you need from me Liam?" "I just wanted to come and introduce myself to you. And let you know that my wolves are at your service any time you need them." I didn't say anything for a long moment I was pretty sure I didn't want any of the services that these wolves had to give me. "For instance we can help you deal with the vampires that are left here in Boston." "That really really won't be necessary. You see some of my best friends are vampires. Also I don't want you approaching any other witches here in Boston. Now if you would kindly go." I said putting a little power behind the words. The wolves took the hint and left."You two wait here a second I have something for you." I ran back to my office. I had made up some protection amulets a few nights before I knew I would need them for Aidan's friends. "You need to wear these at all times. Give this one to Josh. I would give you one for Aidan but he knows what they are and he is a stubborn old man he won't wear one. They didn't question me they just took the amulets and left. I was going to have to talk to Aidan soon but for right now I had to bar tend it was a busy night and we were short-handed.
I was working the bar later that night when I felt Aidan he was hurting and he was close or I wouldn't be able to feel him. I left the other bar tender to close shop since it was almost closing time anyway. It didn't take me long to find him he was a few blocks away in an ally getting the shit kicked out of him by a bunch of werewolves. Before I got to him another vampire showed up and started fighting off the wolves. I jumped in to help between the two of us we got the wolves back. I confronted the wolves in a power display that I hated to use I froze them in place. "What did I tell your friend Liam? I said that no one was to touch my friends that the fighting shit had to stop! You go back to him and you tell him that the next time I even hear of something like this I am not going to be so nice! Now go!" I shouted the last and through a fire-ball at the wolves and they took off running with their tails between their legs.I turned back to the two vampires in the ally. "Henry I presume." He nodded. "You know who and what I am right?" "Yeah you are Deirdre the new high priestess of Boston." "Good so this is what we are going to do. You are going to help me get him back to my place and then you are going to go home. No retaliation got it." For a second it looked like he was going to argue but then he helped me get Aidan to his feet and we got him back to the pub. "Don't take this the wrong way but I don't know you Henry so I'm not letting you in my place so I can get him upstairs ok." I heard Henry whisper to Aidan "your girlfriend is kind of bossy." And then he was gone. "Are you going to be able to get up the stairs?" He groaned but didn't say anything and started climbing the stairs without my help.
In my loft I got his shirt off so I could heal his ribs before I gave him blood. I was about to ask what the hell he had been thinking yeah I know what his original intent in that ally was. Why the hell he was trying to buy blood when he knew I was here and always willing to give him blood whether we were together or not. "Don't ask just please don't ask I know it was stupid I shouldn't have been there and I shouldn't have done what I was doing. SO just please no lecture please." "Fine no lecture but before I give you blood I have a couple of questions. How are you so dumb at your age? And are we together? Because you didn't correct Henry and Sally and Nora seem to think we are." He didn't answer me. But he did kiss me in a way that told me we were back together. We spent most of the night making up for lost time. It was going to take some time to figure out some of our shit but at least we had our relationship status down now. Aidan also agreed that he wasn't going to do any more stupid things in search of clean blood he didn't need me kicking his ass the next time.
The next morning I woke to a grumbling vampire. "This beds to small." He mumbled into my stomach. "This entire place is too small. It's supposed to be just a crash pad. Hell I don't have any of my own things here just my clothes and laptop." Aidan got that look like he had just come up with a great idea. Now I was scared. Before I could ask him what he was thinking there was a knock on the front door followed by Kylie shouting, "Auntie De I'm here!" "Shit shit shit she is early!" I said as I almost fell out of bed and started hunting for clothes. "Get dressed now that's Kylie my niece I'm supposed to hang out with her today I have promised her since I got to Boston." Now dressed I ran to get the door, making sure to close the bedroom door on my way.I opened the door and Kylie jumped into my arms. "Wow you'd think you had never met before." Aidan said walking out of my bedroom. "We haven't. We have talked on Skype but we have never seen each other in person." "So today we are going to make up for that. We are going to bake cookies and do spells and watch movies and…." "Wow slow down I just got up I'm going to have to wake up some more before I can do even half of that kid." I said putting down the over exited seven-year old. She turned and saw Aidan for the first time. Her eyes got huge. "Kaylie this is Aidan my boyfriend be nice to him ok." "Oh my God he's a vampire. Does he sparkle is he old?" I put my hand over her mouth before she could go on. I was having the hardest time not laughing myself but Aidan wasn't amused Leah didn't say a word she would have let the kid go on and on. "Well I got a shift at the hospital so I got to go." And with that he took off. I guess kids that little that know what you are at first glance freaked him out."So when did that start again?" Leah asked as I ushered them into the loft. Kylie made a bee line for the DVD collection next to the TV. "Last night literally last night and that is all you really need to know so please don't give me a hard time you knew it was going to happen hell I knew it was going to happen Aidan just had to get himself together after a year in the ground." "I'm not going to judge you I know you love him." She said and hugged me and left me to a day of fun with my niece.
